Arbor Sports
Arbor Sports is a Venice, California based manufacturer of skateboards and apparel. All their catalogs, mailers, dealer kits and other printed materials use recycled paper stock that is 50% pre-consumer fibre and 25% post-consumer fibre. They use soy based inks which in addition to being more sustainable to procude, actually aid with recycling as well. They offset their electricity with wind credits, used recycled products for point of sale products and all trash is collected and sorted for recycling.
They make some very cool skate decks and offer a large range of longboards together with regular ones. These are made from maple, bamboo and koa wood. All these are sustainably sourced and chosen for their strength, weight and flexibility.

Sector 9 Skateboards
Sector 9 is another skate company known for their longboards. They offer their bamboo series of decks ranging from the normal sizes up to the huge Uluwatu model. Most decks are made from Canadian maple but bamboo is a good choice because of the speed of regneration, which is up to four feet a week. It is strong enough to within the abuses of skating whilst being light and also offering decent pop on the shorter decks.
